A SLICK THEE.
He Manages to Rob a Sub-Treas-
ury of $4,000.

ury OF SIO,OOO.
New YORK, Oct. 27.-The fact that
Henry M. Jackson, cashier of the sub
treasury, was defaulter and went to
Canada was first discovered on Satur
day last. The matter has been kept
very quiet by Treasurer Canda. Mr..
Canda is, under the law. responsible for
the amount of the defalcatiOn. 1t has
been many years since there has been a
dollar lost in the sub-treasury before.
The sub-treasury methods are such as
to make it apparently very difficult to
steal. No clerk could, it was supposed,
enter any Of the vaults alone. jackson
must have evaded this rule in some way.
The combinations of the locks are
known to only two or three men, and
the vaults have two doors, which must
be opened by different clerks.
The books are supposed to be
made up to the last cent every night,
and though millions are deposited in
the sub-taeasury and many thousands
paid over it's counter every day, there
have, as said, been no losses for many
years until now. The defaulter is small
in stature, of very dark complexion,
very stout and with full beard cut close.
Sub-Ireasurer Canda now says the
amount Jackson took with him was ex-
actly $4,000. Jackson took the money
last Saturday, the day of his departure.
His cash was carefully examined on the
18th inst, and found to be correct. On
the 18th inst, when Jackson was absent
through illness, Mr.. Canda said his ac-
counts were again gone over and no
deficit was found. On Monday morning
last the discovery was made and meas
ures were taken to intercept him, his
default meanwhile being kept secret.

In the November number of Scribuer's
Magazine OLIVE RIsLEY SEWARD recalls a
diplomatic episode showing how the United
States once threw away golden opportunity
to get permanent foothold in the West In
dies. In 1865 Secretary SEWARD made a
proposition to the Danish government to
purchase the two Islands of ST. John and st.
Thomas for the sum of S7,50O,OOO, which
the Danish government subsequently agreed
to accept on condition that the inhabitants
of the two islands would concur The 9th of
January, 1868. was the time fixed for taking
the vote. The day was ushered in by the
ringing of bells, the firing of cannon, and all
the houses were decorated with American
bunting. The ballot cast was practically
unanimous in favor of annexation to the
votes cast against it in st. Thomas and not
one dissenting voice at st. john
~
CHARLES SUMNER was at that time chair
man of the senate committee on foreign re-
iations. 1t so happened that there was a
fierce political storm raging at Washington
at the time. and Mr.. SUMMERS patriotism and
craftsmanship seemed to have been swal-
lowed up in partisan bitterness. The result
was the Denmark treaty was smothered in
senate, Notwithstanding the president called
the attention of that body to it in special
message.
That was q time when craftsmanship in
congress was at low ebb, yet it is almost in
conceivable how any department of the GOV
eminent could have been SO utterly oblivious
to our national interests as to have failed to
embrace this opportunity to acquire q West
India possession.

BY Thy assuring tone is thrilled
Fear not, and sleep.''

With doubts and fears and terrors wild,
oh, let my soul expiring hear
Only these words of heavenly cheer,
Sleep well, my childr'

A COMPLICATED Sensation

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-At the in
quest last night over the remains of
Henry Benhayon, who, it was supposed,
committed suicide by taking a dose of
cyanide of potassium last Sunday. Capt.
Lees, a detective, created sensationb by
suddenly appearing before the jury and
stating that he had secured information
as to where and of whom the poison was
bought. The purchaser proved to be,
according to the captains information,
John A. Dimming. book agent and re-
puted friend of deceased. Capt. Lees
had ascertained that Dimming, for a
few days previous to his death, had
been almost daily visitor to the cell of
DR.. Bowers. Evidence against Dimming
was so strong that he had determined to
hold him on charge of murder.

CHICAGO FOR BLAINE.

If bad beginnings make good end
ings, ROBERT LINCOLN has fair pros
pect of the Republican presidential NOM
inatiOn. Mr.. LINCOLN attempted to be-
gin his presidential boom in Chicago
this week, and made the most miserable
failure that any candidate ever exper-
fenced. The Fourth ward in Chicago
was selected by the LINCOLN boomers
as the field to inaugurate their cam
paign. The Cook county Republican
convention was held yesterday, and the
plan of the LincolniteS was to lay the
wires at the primaries on Tuesday for
capturing the county committee. The
Wire-pulling was done so secretly that
the anti-Lincolnites did not find out
what was going Oh until the day before
the primaries. WOODWARD, the COM
mittee man representing the Fourth
ward, is a well-known BLAINE
adherent. The plan was to work up the
LINCOLN following quietly, and to
spring an opposition candidate to WOOD
WARD at the primaries. The newspapers
found it out and gave the secret away
the morning before the primary, and
the result was the BLAINE people
turned out in full force and reelected
WOODWARD by vote of two to one.
This little incident shows two things
very plainly. One is that ROBERT LIN
coin is really anxious for the presi-
dental nomination Notwithstanding his
open declaration that he was indifferent
about it. The other fact disclosed by
this Fourth ward primary episode is
that Mr.. BLAINE is an open can
didate for denomination, and doesn't
intend that BOB LINCOLN or any
body else shall put his fences out
of repair. Chicago is BLAINE
city and the BLAINE partisans in
tend to hold the city in line for their
chieftain. Neither Mr.. LINcoLN's name
nor the fact of his residence being in
Chicago is sufficient to seduce the Chi
cago Blaineites from their loyalty to the
Plumed Knight. The sum of the whole
matter is that the Republican conyen-
ton will be held in Chicago, BLAINE will
be renominated with the same old hip
and hurrah and then will be laid out on
the cooling board in November, where
he will set up his everlasting rest.

THE BELL BOY SAID 1T.

''See how yon golden rod sends back

ter yesterday, ''and in the air there
steals sort of balm, seductive, fragrant,

"The whiStlingS of Boreas have died

THAT would be great fun," replied
the porter.
''And tits the same with all humanity,

same vibrations culver meath their
waist bands. The golden pumpkin is
common boon. This drowsy atmosphere
hits all alike. The maiden gets her to
her autumn leaves; the huntsman takes
his gun; the small boy runs away from
school; the old man finds sunny spot
and smokes his pipe, and aged danes
who linger in this world, themselves
like the last ripened days of autumn
sombre, yet sunny, fold their hands and
wait for winters coming. IT'S time
when all that's human feels a sense of
